Healthy Lasagna

I am not sure where I found this recipe. If it is yours please let me know so I can link back to your blog. I want to give credit to the person who gave me this super yummy, healthy lasagna alternative. My husband loved it so much that he had seconds! Using ribbons of squash is brilliant. I used the side of my cheese grater to cut the ribbons and it didn't work as well as I wanted it to. I have since purchased something else to use but have not tried it yet. I used the recipe calculator on Sparkrecipes.com and came up with the nutrition information that is at the bottom of the post. Serves 6. :)



Healthy Lasagna:

1 lb ground turkey
1/4 t crushed red pepper flakes (more or less to taste)
salt
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 large squash
2 cups tomato sauce
1 c grated Mozzarella
Freshly grated Parmesan

In a skillet cook the turkey, red pepper flakes, salt to taste, onion & garlic until the turkey is cooked through & the onions are translucent.

Using a peeler, slice the squash lengthwise into thin ribbons.

Spoon just enough tomato sauce onto the bottom of a baking dish to coat it. Lay 1/3 of the zucchini slices on top of the sauce overlapping as you go.

Spoon 1/2 of the turkey mixture on top of the zucchini. Then top with 1/3 of the remaining tomato sauce & sprinkle with 1/4 c of mozzarella. Add another layer of zucchini slices, using 1/2 of what you have left) then the rest of the meat, 1/2 the remaining sauce & 1/4 c mozzarella. Use the last of the squash slices to make one more layer. Top with the remaining tomato sauce & mozzarella & then some grated Parmesan.

Bake for 45 - 60 minutes until the cheese is melted & brown & the sauce is bubbly. Allow to sit for about 15 minutes before slicing & serving.
